5 cornerback prospects Colts should consider in 2018 NFL Draft

The Indianapolis Colts will have several areas to address during the 2018 NFL Draft and the cornerback position is among the top of the priorities at the end of April.

The Colts are thin with depth and experience so there is a good chance they look to the draft to add some young talent to a group that is already extremely young.

Outside of guys like Minkah Fitzpatrick and Denzel Ward — two surefire first-round picks — here are five cornerback prospects the Colts should have an eye in the draft:

With the Colts switching defensive schemes, they will also be looking for different types of players. In their cornerbacks, they will be looking for bigger and more physical players that can jam at the line of scrimmage and provide solid zone coverage.

One of Davis’ strengths is using his size (6-foot-1, 203 pounds) and length in press coverage, which is an aspect the Colts need in their cornerbacks. Davis would likely play more zone coverage than man coverage but his size and physicality is something the Colts might be interested in.
